Just getting started with Easyblog and have it installed on a test site. It appears that the default assigned privileges in the ACL settings allow everyone to do almost everything (set to yes by default) and that they are not hierarchical. I have many ACLs and was wondering if there is a way to easily set these privileges for all of the ACLs in one move rather than changing each ACL individually. There will be only one ACL group with permissions to create, edit, etc., blogs.

Thanks!
Hello Sue,

Are you on Joomla 3.2 by any chance? There is a bug with the guest user group on Joomla 3.2 . To quickly fix this, all you need to do is to access the Users area of your Joomla back end and click on the "Options" button at the top right. Then, save the settings.

Thank you, Mark, for your quick response. I should have mentioned that I am on Joomla 2.5.16. So I take it that there is no global way of setting the EasyBlog ACL privileges? Is there a way of doing it through the database? I looked around and didn't see where the EasyBlog privileges are set for each ACL in the site database.

Hello Sue,

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately there is no way to batch edit the ACL. The tables for the ACL are

#__easyblog_acl_group --> This is the ACL setting for each user group
#__easyblog_acl --> This is the ACL and it's description

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
